Catawba Brewing Launching Craft Beer Passport Program For 2017

With a new Small Batch brew every week.

Catawba Brewing has big plans for their Small Batch Program, with 52 new beers destined for release in 2017. Every Thursday throughout the year, all Catawba tasting rooms will tap a new Small Batch beer brewed in their Asheville South Slope 7-barrel brewhouse. And now the brewery has a new rewards program for regular customers who want to go the extra mile toward Catawba craft beer enlightenment.

Here’s how it works: Go to any Catawba tasting room to pick up a Beer Passport booklet. When you order a Small Batch beer (full pour) for the first time, you get a stamp in your Passport. For various levels of achievement (13, 26, 39, or all 52 unique Small Batch beers), you’ll qualify for prizes at year-end. The grand prize for those who reach the 52 Club will include a private party in the South Slope Rickhouse bar with catered food, an advance preview of a very special beer release, and additional prizes to be announced later. The first two Passport Beers will be a Chocolate Saison (Jan. 5) and Coffee Porter (Jan. 12). Catawba’s Small Batch beers typically last only about three weeks, so be sure to get them before they’re gone.
